2019 Map of Fairmont West

About this map

Fairmont sits at the confluence of the West Fork River and the Tygart Valley River, where they join to form the northward-flowing Monongahela River. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply connected by its waterway crossings, including the Million Dollar Bridge and the David Morgan Memorial Bridge. The density of cemeteries, such as Woodlawn Cem and Fairmont City Cem, reflects a century of settlement and genealogy across the hills of Marion, Harrison, and Taylor counties. Smaller communities like Monongah, Bentons Ferry, and Kingmont are linked by winding roads and the Across-Town Trails Line. The map also captures local industrial and civic infrastructure, from Gaston Junction to the Fairmont Municipal Airport-Frankman Field, illustrating how the valley's steep topography continues to dictate the patterns of transit and habitation.
